New research from the National Center for Social Research (UK) paints a promising picture of rising secularism in Britain.
The survey of more than 4,000 people across Britain found that the number of people describing themselves as Christian has dropped in the last 25 years from 66 percent to 50 percent.
The national center said most of that drop was due to defections from the Church of England, with only 23 percent of those surveyed describing themselves as Anglican today in comparison to 40 percent of the population in 1983.
The number of Britons saying that they do not belong to any particular faith rose from 31 percent in 1983 to 43 percent today.
